I know I mentioned this a few weeks back, but those new caps the teams have for Spring Training…I want one. They look pretty dang good to me. At one point in the recent past, The Flyin’ Hawaiian wasn’t a thing. That was before Shane Victorino got a...

You don’t have to be a Red Sox fan to have your heart go out to Ryan Kalish. After an exciting 2010 debut in which he showcased his potential, his flaws and his energy all at once, many assumed Kalish would start 2011 as the team’s left fielder. Then came the Carl...

Today the Red Sox signed Stephen Drew to a one-year, $9.5 million dollar deal, pending a physical. Drew, the brother of former Red Sox player J.D. Drew, was selected by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 1st round (pick #15) in the 2004 draft. Having hit well at high-A...

Yep, it’s Monday again. The Hot Stove is now the Mildly Warm Stove. And with all this quiet time, we look back to look forward. With links, of course. Looks like the Red Sox are shifting down a few gears in the offseason. And with hindsight, that Ryan Dempster...

So here we are at the so-called mid-point of the season: the All-Star break. While we knew this season would likely be tougher than seasons in recent memory, few could have expected the veritable roller coaster ride the Red Sox have been on since Opening Day. Up...

Red Sox Nation can’t resist the boy wonder, Theo Epstein. He is our Bill Clinton…our Elizabeth Taylor…our Michael Jackson. Regardless of his relevance in Major League Baseball, we will follow his every move until the day he dies. Really though,...

Oh, no he didn’t! He don’t know Nick! He don’t know Nick! Shut up! Shut up! You know he looks good. You just jealous! Oh, I’m sorry. I was just channeling my “Jerry Springer white trash” persona for a second. Why would I do...
